Xu Ba'an came over, took a ladle of cold water from the wooden bucket placed in front of Qin Shaoyou, washed his face, and said sarcastically:
"I thought Fan Zhengqi would be a difficult subject to interrogate, but when he entered the torture room and saw the torture instruments, he immediately peed. Before we even asked him, he was executed.
On the contrary, his wife was very tough, which made us spend a lot of effort."
After Xu Baan washed his face, he scooped up another ladle of water and drank it in a gulp.
Qin Shaoyou hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
After drinking the water and putting down the ladle, Xu Baan told Qin Shaoyou what he had learned during the interrogation.
Just as Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai speculated, the cases in Wujiabao and Mianyuan County were indeed related to Fan Zhengqi.
Fan Zhengqi is one of the protective umbrellas behind Wujiapu.
Over the years, no one had suspected that there was something wrong with Wujiapu, but all the complaints reported to the government were solved by Fan Zhengqi using various means.
If it was really difficult to solve, he could also solve the problem for the person who sued.
In exchange, Wujiabao would pay him a large sum of money every year.
Of course, all filial piety is collected through middlemen.
Fan Zhengqi was very cautious and never came forward to do business with people from Wujiapu, and even did not allow middlemen to disclose his information.
He believed that by doing this, even if the Wujiapu incident was exposed one day, at most the trace would be traced to the middleman.
And he has a vampire, and he is confident that when the middleman is under investigation, he can kill people, destroy evidence, and extract himself.
I have to say, he almost succeeded.
Compared to Wujiabao, Fan Zhengqi was less clear about the specific circumstances of the case in Mianyuan County.
Someone paid him to help cover up the case for a period of time.
Fan Zhengqi didn't want to agree at first, because there was Zhang Shilang in Mianyuan County, and he didn't want to take risks.
But Mrs. Fan couldn't help but spoke.
Fan Zhengqi owes everything he has to his wife's help, so he dare not disobey his wife's request.
Yesterday morning, Fan Zhengqi received news that the situation in Wujiabao was strange, the door was closed, and he didn't know what happened.
He immediately realized that something must have happened in Wujiapu, so he made arrangements to kill people and silence them.
Before Sha Yanliu was silenced, he had already ordered a vampire to silence another middleman.
The vampire disguised the cause of death very well. The family just thought that the deceased had died of illness and did not report it to the official.
Fan Zhengqi originally thought that Yan Liu's death would be regarded as a sudden death from a serious disease. Even if Yan Liu's family wanted to report the matter to the government, it would be handled by the government's execution room or the execution hall and would not be submitted to the Demon Suppression Department.
When the time comes, he will have plenty of ways to handle the case so that no one will suspect that the devil is at work, let alone him.
But Fan Zhengqi never expected that as soon as the vampire killed someone, he would be caught by Qin Shaoyou and others.
In fact, Fan Zhengqi didn't know that Yan Liu had been targeted by the Demon Suppression Department for a long time.
Even if there were no Qin Shaoyou and others last night, after Yan Liu died, a night watchman would appear immediately to investigate the scene and the body.
Maybe we can't catch the vampire, but we will definitely not hand this case over to the police or the criminal justice court.
The night watchman who was following Yan Liu did appear at the Tianya Sand Dance Hall as soon as possible last night, and was then lured away by Sun Xiaoqi.
Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but ask a question: "Mrs. Fan has something to do with the Black Lotus Sect?"
Xu Ba'an nodded and said: "She is a member of the Black Lotus Sect."
Then he asked: "Do you know how Fan Zhengqi met her?"
Qin Shaoyou shook his head. He didn't know where to go with such private stories.
Xu Ba'an didn't sell it out and told a story.
Fan Zhengqi went to Beijing several times to take the exam, but failed to pass the Jinshi exam. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.
I heard someone said that there was a temple with miraculous effects, so I went to pray for God's blessing.
As a result, the gods did not bless him, but a woman came to his door and said she wanted to marry him.
Fan Zhengqi felt weird about the idea of a wife falling from the sky, so he naturally refused to agree.
But the woman said that as long as they got married, she could change Fan Zhengqi's luck and allow him to become an official.
At that time, Fan Zhengqi wanted to be an official. Although he knew that there was something wrong with this woman, he still divorced his first wife and married this woman.
Then, it was as if his destiny had been changed. He successfully passed the official selection and became a promotion official.
After arriving in Luocheng, Fan Zhengqi, with the help of his wife, tried many cases. In each case, he had solid evidence.
But in fact, those so-called irrefutable evidences were all created by Mrs. Fan using vampires and Gu magic.
Most of the cases decided by Fan Zhengqi were unjust, false and wrong!
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait a minute, Brother Xu, there are a few things I don't understand. Why did this woman choose Fan Zhengqi? She still insists on being married to him?"
"We have reviewed this issue."
Xu Ba'an said: "Fan Zhengqi was selected because he is timid, greedy and easy to control.
Being married to him is also to facilitate the control of him, and at the same time to absorb his yang energy, so that the yin and yang of the vampire in the stomach can be harmonized, so that it is not easy to be discovered.
In addition, I also want to use my status as an official family member to cover up the background of the followers of the Black Lotus Sect."
Qin Shaoyou asked again: "Why did they spend so much time to bring out an unjust, false and wrongful verdict? Do they want to start a civil uprising? But they also provided 'ironclad evidence'. No one except the parties would think that they were unjustly convicted."
Wrong case?"
Xu Ba'an replied: "They made unjust, false and wrong cases mainly out of anger. Mrs. Fan's witchcraft needs to be practiced with the help of anger.
If there is too much grievance, it may even affect the destiny of a country.
Although the grievances in Luocheng are not enough to influence the whole country, who knows whether the Black Lotus Sect is doing similar things in other counties, prefectures, and prefectures?
In recent years, natural disasters have occurred in many places, and their hands and feet must be indispensable!"
After a pause, Xu Ba'an added: "In addition, by handling all cases as solid cases, Fan Zhengqi has become known as a capable official in the officialdom. His performance appraisals are top-notch every year, and he is likely to be promoted to serve in the state.
If Fan Zhengqi is really promoted, can he cause more grievances and have a greater impact?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded, and couldn't help but think of the painted ghost who tried to pretend to be Zhang Shilang.
The Black Lotus Sect is really bent on destroying the Great Xia Dynasty.
Sure enough, if the country is about to perish, there must be monsters?
However, if the Black Lotus Sect really becomes a climate, the people will probably live a worse and more miserable life.
After Xu Baan and Qin Shaoyou chatted for a while, he yawned and said, "No, I have to take a nap. When I get up, I will continue the interrogation to see if I can get more useful information from these two people."
He waved his hand, said goodbye to Qin Shaoyou, and went to find a place to sleep.
When Qin Shaoyou returned to Datongpu, Zhu Xiucai and others woke up.
One by one, with their sleepy eyes open, they asked him: "Sir, where have you been so early?"
After the exercise, Qin Shaoyou felt refreshed and said with a smile: "We went for morning exercise. Did you sleep well?"
"Very good." everyone replied.
Unlike Qin Shaoyou, they have long been accustomed to the environment of constant snoring and stinky feet. They even feel that in this environment, they can sleep better and more soundly.
After getting up, the warriors dressed and chatted with each other.
Liao Lishi was bragging: "Guess what I dreamed about last night? I dreamed that I went to Piaoxiangyuan, where all the courtesans, courtesans and so on were surrounding me. It felt like... Hehe, it's really
Don’t be too happy.”
"It's great." The strongman sleeping next to him said with envy: "I can't do it anymore. I dreamed of rowing all night, but I'm exhausted. My wrist still hurts."
"Haha, you actually dreamed about rowing? Are you so unlucky?"
Liao Lishi couldn't help laughing.
But as he smiled, he couldn't laugh anymore, and his face gradually turned ugly.
Looking at the lively atmosphere, Qin Shaoyou really felt as if he had returned to the Earth University dormitory.
He clapped his hands and greeted: "After everyone has packed up, go and have breakfast. Today we have to work hard again to send back the bodies of Old Wei and Old Yao."
Everyone responded in unison and had a positive attitude towards escorting the corpse of their colleague home.
Qin Shaoyou found Monk Ma again and said to him: "Before departure, you first go to Luohan Temple with me and teach me the Vajra Armor Seal."
Qin Shaoyou has wanted to learn this magical power for a long time, but he has never found a temple dedicated to Skanda Bodhisattva, so he has been put off until now.
"Okay." Monk Ma agreed.
The two of them wasted no time and immediately left the Demon Suppression Division.
Luohan Temple is located in Luocheng. On the way there, Qin Shaoyou bought fried cakes and soy milk for Monk Ma for breakfast.
But he didn't eat these himself.
Just the crusty cakes and Dali cakes made Qin Shaoyou half-full, and he still had room for some tea.
